7mo's and only 3-4 oz from a bottle

My munchkin has yet to take a bottle over 4 ounces. ?She is primarily BF, but does get a bottle of formula about once a day, due to supply issues. When it comes time for her nighttime bottle I rarely can get her to take more than 3 ounces. ?Does this seem odd to anyone? ?My sister about flipped when I pulled about the little bottle, but her DS is a chunk.

Yes, she is growing and gaining weight I'm just curious.?

    My DD is the same way!  She rarely will take more than 4 oz.  Her average is 3-4 oz.  She's strictly BF and gets bm in bottles when I work and this is what DH and my mom give her when I'm gone.  She's been like this since 6 weeks old when I went back to work. 

    And, she's always in the 75th percentile for height and weight.  But, she also doesn't STTN and eats 2-3 times at night.  I think its different for BFed babies.  Ask your pedi, I'm sure its normal!

    My LO only takes 2.5-3 oz from a bottle too. I think maybe once or twice he took 4 oz. He has been consistent with the 2.5-3oz since he started taking a bottle at 6 weeks. I have tried to get him to take more but to no avail. He also nurses about 7x a day now. Just out of curiosity how many times does your LO nurse?

    I'm definitely not worried more curious than anything. ?I would say she nurses 5 to 6 times, when my supply is cooperating.
